1. Start with the Glendale service area, not a population promise
The U.S. Census Bureau records Glendale city as a municipality in Milwaukee County. Its 2020–2024 ACS five-year population estimate is 13,656, with a margin of error of 34. That figure describes the city’s population; it does not establish how many people need legal help, search online, complete an intake, or become clients. It also does not describe all of Milwaukee County or a broader metropolitan area. For Video Intake, the useful local decision is narrower: identify which website visitors your firm intends to serve and whether the intake path should distinguish a Glendale inquiry from inquiries elsewhere in the firm’s service area.
Recommended approach
Bring your actual service-area definition to the review. Decide whether the survey should ask about location, use location as a routing question, or leave geographic qualification to staff. Measure completed inquiries by the geographic fields your firm chooses, rather than treating Glendale’s population as a forecast.
